	The little network that could, and did by Graeme Smith
		WINNIPEG -- Rita Deverell looks like a fairy godmother, sashaying through the newsroom of the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network in her beaded earrings, billowing purple dress, white sandals and chipped, sparkly toenail polish.
		Try to think of another broadcast executive who would be so warm and matronly, meeting a visiting reporter with an armload of documents and a mouth full of pizza, offering her pinky in lieu of a handshake.
		She emphasizes that the improvement in numbers has been achieved with roughly the same budget, and despite two hurdles: APTN's spot in the stratosphere of channel numbers, and the Nielsen surveys' tendency to measure viewership in urban centres rather than northern and rural areas.
